Chapter 1170 - 1169: Infiltration

In the dead of night, five hundred nautical miles from Lin'an City, on the pitch-black Paradise Island.

Paradise Island was incredibly dark, the roars of countless wild beasts echoing from within, sounding like the furious cries of Evil Spirits, terrifying to the core.

The dark sea continuously crashed against the rocky shore, splashing countless waves, harmonizing with the roars of the beasts, as if this were not an island, but a cage!

However, what no one expected was, beneath the seemingly tranquil surface of Paradise Island, lurked an unspeakable danger!

At this moment, ten thousand meters above Paradise Island, a black plane was gliding over like a giant bird, its black body blending into the night sky, leaving no trace.

"Sir, is this Paradise Island?"

Marcus, dressed in a black tight outfit, looked down at Paradise Island through binoculars with the plane's door open, and said: "From above, it really looks like a giant skull!"

Marcus was witnessing Paradise Island for the first time; without Lu Yu's precise coordinates, it would be impossible to discover this island.

"That's right."

Hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu nodded and said: "In truth, what occurs on this island is even more terrifying than a skull!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu was calm and collected; he wore a similar black outfit, fully armed, with a parachute pack strapped to his back, and eight similarly dressed members of the Assassin Alliance were standing behind him.

This time, Lu Yu planned to adopt a ten-man squad for infiltration operations, so quality was prioritized over quantity. Ten people was the maximum number that could be carried; more would be cumbersome, fewer would lack strength.

Ten people, not too many, not too few—just enough.

"Sir!"

Just as Lu Yu was speaking, the pilot of the plane said: "We're approaching the optimal position for a parachute jump, prepare to jump!"

"Understood!"

Upon hearing the pilot's words, Lu Yu responded, immediately turning to everyone and saying: "Remember, Paradise Island's equipment is very advanced; they have radar and can detect surrounding objects. This time, open the parachute at three hundred meters above the ground, so they won't be detected by the radar, understand!?"

Having spent three years on Paradise Island, Lu Yu was well-acquainted with the facilities there, which led him to have the plane fly at such altitude and issue precise parachute jump orders.

All of this was to avoid radar detection!

"Understood, sir!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, everyone responded, their voices low yet determined.

That's how members of the Assassin Alliance were, steady and reserved, never indulging in unnecessary chatter.

"Alright, since you understand, there's no need for more words. There are numerous explosive devices buried underground on the island; I'll go first, you follow behind me!"

Lu Yu was well aware of Paradise Island's defense mechanisms and locations, as familiar with it as his own backyard.

After all, he had been imprisoned here for three years!

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, everyone acknowledged, ready and steady!

Seeing the response from everyone, Lu Yu nodded, a slight smile curving his lips. He then donned windproof glasses and plunged from the plane!

As Lu Yu jumped out, everyone behind him, including Marcus, leapt from the plane one by one!

Unlike conventional parachuting with arms and legs spread to descend steadily, Lu Yu kept his legs together, hands at his sides, darting swiftly downward like a sharp blade!

The Assassin Alliance members who jumped after him followed the same posture.

Ten figures were like meteors, descending swiftly toward Paradise Island, astonishingly fast!

This parachuting method was unique to the Assassin Alliance, enabling a swift descent with minimal surface area, avoiding detection, achievable only after grueling training!

At this moment, as his body descended rapidly, Lu Yu's eyes focused coldly on the approaching Paradise Island.

The island that once imprisoned him for three years—he was back!

The wind howled past his ears, echoing like eerie cries, as Lu Yu continued his descent.

Eight thousand meters…

Four thousand meters…

Two thousand meters…

"Scatter!"

At fifteen hundred meters, Lu Yu shouted through his earpiece, simultaneously spreading his limbs, rolling away like a giant bird!

Hearing Lu Yu's command, the Assassin Alliance members wasted no time, sweeping outward just like Lu Yu, expanding instantly, maintaining considerable distances.

The spacing ensured their parachutes wouldn't entangle, preventing fatal crashes upon landing.

As everyone dispersed, the descent continued.

One thousand meters…

Eight hundred meters…

Five hundred meters…

"Deploy parachutes!"

At three hundred meters, Lu Yu commanded, swiftly pulling his parachute cord.

Whoosh!

As Lu Yu pulled the parachute cord, a pure black parachute instantly unfolded, slowing his rapid descent.

As Lu Yu opened his parachute, others followed suit, gradually descending.

Minutes later, Lu Yu and the Assassin Alliance members landed, quickly shedding their parachutes, wrapping them swiftly, noiselessly.

This mission, with the enemy outnumbering us, emphasized stealth and infiltration over direct confrontation.

"Proceed with the plan."

After wrapping up the parachutes, Lu Yu instructed: "Three go for the control room, three for the radar room, three install plastic C4 in the armory. I'll move alone, understand!?"

"Understood!"

Everyone acknowledged, crisp and decisive.

"Go!"

With everyone affirming, Lu Yu commanded softly, full of decisiveness.
